Harry or Frank

[hughthehedgehog]

Just that really. 2 weeks to go so at crunch time and we can't decide between these two!
Middle name will be Douglas and surname is very non-offensive 2 syllable name that would go with either.

So which would you choose and why?

Also to say though I am generally a big fan of longer more formal name on BC in this instance I really don't like Henry or Frances so please don't suggest these names as alternatives! Have considered Harrison and Franklin on BC but not sure how these surname names will date/not sure if feels a bit try hard?

I love both Harry and Frank. Harry flows better with the lovely Douglas in the middle, but Frank is still fine with it. I'm not a great fan of Frankie though - I'd just stick to Frank. I do like that Frank is less used than Harry, though Frankie is in the top 100 I think, so probably not a lot in it. Not much help here...
I agree with you about not putting Henry or Francis on the birth certs. Harry and Frank are well established names in their own right and definitely are good for the full name.

I like both but Frank a bit more unusual.

Understand you not liking Francis (I love Frances as a girls name but don't like it for boys) - but Frank really does look like a nn to me so I'd go for Franklin which is I think is lovely - nice history and sparky.

Frank

Harry Douglas

Frank the wank was said at my school

Frank! (Biased, as someone close is called Frank). There are an awful lot of Harrys around...
